1

Agincourt

From an in-form stable though this is the bare minimum trip for Agincourt. She did go very close to winning a 1600m Listed race here in May.

2

Bounce The Blues

Good efforts on all 2021 starts and she really should have won a 1400m soft ground G3 at Lingfield, continually denied a clear run, but still a close second.

3

Helvezia

Will need to upgrade from a modest 2021 return. But some solid slow-ground performances last season – including at Listed level – offers hope.

4

Highfield Princess

Knows how to win and victorious in three of her last four starts including a dominant defeat of 27 rivals in a Royal Ascot handicap. A first group run for this 1400m specialist.

5

Jouska

Went close to winning a Listed event at Musselburgh despite not handling the bend, and then – racing too keenly – she failed to stay 1600m last time.

6

Last Empire

Has won at Listed level and again ran well in that grade on her penultimate start. Excuses last time but unproven at 1400m.

7

Lavender’s Blue

Dropping back to this specialist trip for the first time, a bit of a worry. Not disgraced in G2 and G1 company on her last two starts. Doesn’t want slow ground.

8

Onassis

Has the ability to quicken from the back on slow ground as she did when winning a Listed race over this course and distance. Also an encouraging effort last time.

9

Valeria Messalina

Headed in the last stride when second in this last year, a career-best performance on her only previous Goodwood run. Slower ground this time but chances nonetheless.

10

Sacred

Her trainer thought she was a pure sprinter but she surprised him with a comfortable G3 victory over this trip at Newmarket in April. Then failed to last 1600m in a G1.

11

Dandalla

High class at two, winning a 1200m G3 and G2 but so far has not been nearly so effective this year. With something to prove.

12

Isabella Giles

The fact that she surged clear to win a soft-ground G3 over this course and distance last August is encouraging. Has run better than the bare facts appear in 2021.

13

Lullaby Moon

Concluded a very good first season with a decisive 1400m heavy ground G3 win at Chantilly. Hasn’t recaptured that form in two 2021 runs.

14

Meu Amor

Handles this trip and a variety of surfaces. And her comfortable win of a 1400m Carlisle Listed race last time was a career best run.

15

Passionova

Up significantly in grade but she’s clearly a smart filly having returned from a minor leg operation to win over this trip on fast ground at Newmarket.

16

Star Of Emaraaty

Has won at this G3 level and over this trip – at Newmarket – when a shock winner. A return to form was suggested on her last start. Quick ground ideal.

17

Vadream

Briefly looked like beating higher rated rivals in a 1400m soft-ground G3 at Royal Ascot. On that evidence this distance looks ideal.
